Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My boy got suspended today...

That punk fooled with the wrong boy. Good for your son. Schools never punish the one who should be punished and never really punish bullies.

Something similar happened to my son. He loves him fishing so I took off work and we went fishing. I made sure he understood life is not always fair but he needs to do the right thing…even if he gets in trouble. In the long run, it will work out.

Good on you!!!!! My Grandson just got a whole week off, he was standing talking to a friend and another kid came up and suckered him. He can take a punch, rolled with it and came up and decked him! Kid almost went unconscious. Teacher saw the whole thing but it's a no touch school, so they both got suspended. No wonder kids think they can do and say anything!!! Shop teachers understand it's the teachers that went from school to college to teaching college to teaching, they have no FN idea about real life.!!! Pushed the pencil all there life lost in there own mind!!! He's only thirteen but he's a hard one eighty. The high school is just waiting for him to make it there. The other kids lucky it wasn't his fourteen yr old sister, she's not one eighty but she's taller than him and she has reflexes like a frikn cat. They play fight and he can't get a hit in, she blocks everything and slaps him before he can do anything, I'd pay for her to take some kind of fighting. She's also really driven, she wants to join military and be a pilot, plane or chopper at fourteen??? That could change but whatever she puts her hand to she does it well. She just won an art contest, she cooks, she bakes, loves shooting with her Pawpaw. Ok got a little carried away but I'm dam proud of them both. GWP. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦

He did well. Good response and he sent a message that went through the whole school. The punk had lots of other kids wishing he would get his beat down and he got it.

That word sounds like it should require wiping.

You are very correct.

As to whoever starts a fight: I don't feel that the instigator should expect any sort of limitation as to the response he receives.

I don’t see the problem. Bet the kid doesn’t F with him again!

My kid got into a fight at school, was suspended, and the wife was pissed that I wasn't going to punish him. The other kid had been on him for quite a while and after a few days Jake finally had enough and ended it.

Finally told her she didn't have any idea what it's like to be a boy, what kind of hell it can be if you get targeted, and to stay out of it.

Ended that discussion, too.

Well worth it.
👍👍👍

Good lessons learned all around.
Punk now realizes that not everyone is going to tolerate being bullied.
Son earns respect from fellow students and gained a bit of self confidence. After facing his punishment, he will be in a better position to decide if future encounters are worth the repercussions.

Unknown to us, at 12 years old, our son was being bullied by a 15 year old. On a Friday night at the local skating rink he shoved my son to the floor and called him a btch. Some friends helped him to a bench because his knee was hurt. Other kids came over and to tell him that Brad was going to kick his arse. My son wouldn't hurt a flea but he did have a few years of karate training. When Bradley came over and got in his face my son smashed his nose.
He told his mommy that he was just coming over to say he was sorry for bumping into him.
My son was found guilty of disorderly conduct and we got to pay the punk's medical bills.
We all learned that the justice system isn't always just. The magistrate was a smartass twaat. " now why would someone call you a female dog? That doesn't make sense. "

You can't punish the kid because the school is stupid. Kids fighting in school was a everyday event when I was a kid, that's just how boys work things out.

Good deal, great timing.
At his age, this doesn't matter past the end of year.

But everyone will remember it, and he will have easy sailing untill graduation.

I did a similar thing a couple times in grade school to bullies, and they steered clear after that. Dad always said.." never start a fight, but do everything you can to finish one."

Yep !!!

And good on you for not punishing him for doing the right thing.

Bet the dumbass bully won’t mess win anymore.

Your wife blamed what on you?

Tell her you're sorry you taught him how to not get his ass whipped.

Sounds like he deserves some days at the range or lake.

Your Boy did exactly what he should have. Good for him. A life lesson learned for both kids. The bully will think twice before he pulls a stunt like that again. He now knows what might be coming. And your boy just earned the respect of his classmates, and that will follow him for years to come. The suspension in this case is a badge of honor. If that was my boy I would be Proud of him. As I'm sure you are. Not everyone would have acted as your son did. Its a special kind of person that steps up and does the right thing regardless of the consequences. Looks like he was raised up right. Good job Dad.

Good for him! He defended himself. He also learned all decisions have consequences. Good or bad they all have consequences. Support him and celebrate with a day at the range with him.

Grandson11 gets bullied a lot. In truth, he’s a bit of a dork. But a dork with MMA and JuJitsu training.

Last month a bully took after him and when GS started getting the best of him, bully’s friend jumped in. GS kicked his ass, too.

When brought before the principal, the bully tried to blame it on GS. Bully’s friend stood up for GS and told the principal what really happened. GS gained a new friend that day and bully got what was coming to him.

My son (not a dork), never started a fight at school, but he finished a lot of them. He and I have the same attitude. You might get in trouble at school for defending yourself, but you won’t be in trouble at home.

It's too early for the attorney. But, a few minutes with the principal, mostly low keyed can get you on the right track if there is a mutual agreement about future behavior of the other young man. Especially if the principal knows the other kid on a first name basis because of his behavior. I will bet you the principal has had it up to his/her ears with the kid and his parents.

IN private he/she is cheering your son on. Don't go in and blow it. Now is your chance to score some points with the principal and an attorney will fugg that up in a New York minute. I have seen it before. Don't be that other parent.

Nicely done, kid!

Have fun at the range with your dad, and remember, you’re being disciplined.

Lol
